Proton VPN Review
For load, reliability, access / response time, tested all of the VPNs for various 'blue chip' corps.
Over an extended test period, Proton's product was no better or worse than any of the other providers.

UAW?
Generally, not known for being artistically inclined. Suspect the sticker orientation became more haphazard during the course of a typical shift.
EX: My unrestored, stock original, '69 Coronet R/T (Lynch Rd)
Just in case you were wondering ...
Yup. That is the original jack and F70-14...
Options:
1. Keep the lady
- Prefer stock original. Install a date correct 383
- Stay modified. Fake out everyone. Replace the 440 with a 426 Hemi
2. Sell the lady
- Change nothing
- NOPE. Not selling that gorgeous lady
Apparently, some resto shops believe the MOPAR community is a bunch of clueless, deep pocket idiots with WAY more $$ than brains.
Gotta wonder if they actually manage to sell these vehicles.

Everyone has preferences. Whatever works for you.
Had the opp to acquire an unrestored, stock original, A33 '69 Coronet R/T. 28K original mis. Original F70-14 spare still holds air.
Fortunate that the previous owner had resisted Don Garlits and Herb McCandless purchase inquiries. They did...
Nice ride!
My '66 Coronet 500 Convertible, 361 2-V, 4-spd, Posi. White ext & red int. Wish I still had that lady
Have a '66 Hemi Coronet 500 HT, 4-spd, Dana 60. White ext & red int. Way more ponies ... miss the wind w/ top down
Unrestored, stock original, numbers matched, Track-Pak, 28K mis
Need to replace front carpet and pad. Maintaining originality.
What was the factory carpet pad? Jute?? Availability??
Color coordinated leaf spring shackle bungee - B5 blue. Fender tag body code: BC (Before Corrosion)
No need for a heater. Ongoing oxidation should warm interior through the winter
Interesting mix of pics.
Apparently, owner could not tell difference between the B5 blue, '68 "fabulous" Charger...
'68 R/T - $45K
Listed as a "fabulous" original charger

Apparently, significant surcharge for "fabulous" original corrosion. Interesting upgrade...
Courtesy of the web-based listings and televised auctions, everybody seems to believe their daily drivers to (almost) rolling junk are museum quality collectibles. A gold plated fortune waiting to happen
440 Daytona? $325K? Dream on dude
OldRedDodge has it. VR1 20-50 for the unmolested 440 in my '69 R/T

Unfortunately, my ex-Nam buddy and the '66 Coronet 500 are history. All I have are a few pics and a lot of great memories.
Am totally envious. Your ride looks awesome. Congrats!
My first ride. Lowest production MOPAR (1 of 62) I have owned:
'66 Coronet 500 Convertible, 361-2V, 4-speed, posi rear end
Factory notification in the glove box. My car had the last posi rear end that was installed for the '66 model year.
